Show Notes:

You may know it as the Nintendo Entertainment System (or "NES" for short), but our little gray toaster started life overseas as a mean red-and-cream machine that would take Japanese youth by storm.

What's more, there were fantastic accessories never released outside of Japan, such as the Famicom Disk System -- although one look at your trusty NES proves that Nintendo had originally intended otherwise!
